Gunslinger is to weak compared to other classes

I can't say that Gunslinger/Sniper suck but they are just average among those operatives sorcs mercs. This class is very team-dependant if noone protects or heals you, you die in seconds and smart players choose you as their favourite target very often. Our damage is nice but very easy to counter.

Positioning is key for gunslinger, learn this and you will thrive, don't and you will continue to get roflstomped over and over.

I'm not saying sniper/gunslinger don't have their issues, however, 99% of the snipers I see are absolutely dreadful, and have no clue as to how to play their class.

No chaining rifle attacks.

Using cover pulse with zero intelligence. If you're playing huttball, all it takes is one debilitate/flashbang -> reposition -> pulse -> goodbye.

Zero IQ positional sense (hey, let's stand 15m away from the alderaan mid turret on the ground floor, so absolutely everyone will see I'm a free kill with my shiny shield)

List goes on...

As for damage, I've seen snipers take ~50% of my health with one shot.

They are actually only immune to knockbacks and the like when they are entrenched. Being in cover does not make them immune.

Dealing damage alone does not make a class good.

How do you get that damage? By hiding on a perch in Huttball sitting in one spot? By attacking people that arent attacking you? That is hardly any indication that class is good.

Bounty Hunter/Trooper has basically everything Sniper does except better and more of it and without having to use cover.

Oh boy... you're one of those...


Please, roll a bounty hunter and you'll be on the forums in a month or so complaining about how overpowered some other class is, snipers and gunslingers are fine.

Snipers hurt me



I am happy to engage fighting just about anyone more than a sniper because they really hurt me in my light armor. Obviously I don't include Ops in that group of "anyone" because I never have a choice to engage them or not. They just pop up behind me and next thing I know I am dead (unless I somehow manage to smash all the right buttons to get free for a second or two, then he is in trouble! lol)

What heal are you talking about?

I think they are talking about classes like sorcerers and operatives getting very good damage capabilities while still being given abilities like heals

Umm Bounty Hunter is more than fine right now. Say otherwise and you dont know what you're talking about.

And im simply stating facts here.

BH has a knockback, does not require cover, superior to Sniper
BH has a stun, has range on it, Sniper's is melee range, Superior to sniper
BH has cast time damage abilities, deal more or equal amounts of damage to similar cast time abilites of snipers, does not require cover, again Superior to Sniper
BH has high damage mitigation, Sniper has the low damage mitigation.
BH can have heals/dispels, Sniper can have.. cover?

I guess BH have it rough eh?
